Glen Hunter put painstaking effort into tracing when exactly Snax are broken. Michael Craig
Some people may think Glen Hunter is crackers. Who in their right mind would try to match up, jigsaw-style, all the broken pieces from a box of crackers?
But Hunter, 70, was sick of buying boxes of Snax only to open them and think: "Oh crumbs". He wanted to determine whether the biscuits were broken before or after they went into the cellophane packet.
"I painstakingly have tried to match up the broken pieces without any success."The exercise took an hour and a half, but the outcome, in Hunter's opinion, is conclusive.
"I say they are being broken in the factory and being packaged like that." But that's not what the manufacturer, Griffin's, says. The company told Hunter any damage must have occured in transit.
